Korg Wavestation SR

The Wavestation SR is a repackaged Wavestation designed to provide you with all the Wavestation sounds you could ever ask for in a more compact and less expensive MIDI Module. It is a 1-unit rackmount tone module that has all the raw power and sounds of the famous WavestationEX and A/D synths! The SR maintains the same advanced Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing synthesis method from a 4MB ROM card. While managing to increase the MIDI mixing and 16 part MIDI multitimbrality and shrinking the massive synth no sound nor edit parameter was sacrificed! Every parameter can still be tweaked, although much more tedious, however that is the trade-off for a compact, portable and richly multitimbral synthesizer module. Included among its vast array of amazing synthesizer sounds is 1 drum kit with 30 sounds making the SR an ideal centerpiece for any MIDI studio. Wavestations are used by Orbital, The Future Sound of London and Gary Numan.

Has many sounds and room for your own designs. Difficult for noobies to program but use a editor and your golden. If you know midi controllers the lack of joystick is not an issue. Cross fade 8 synthesizers in one stereo track and whats the big deal if there no joystick Think out side the synth box and you will see what old school programmers see. If you want preset romplers this will fail. It is a Vector synthesiser, an actual synthesiser, not a sample and hold deal. I own the wavestation keyboard also, is twice the fun. Good for ambient and some trance and psi. Use an external filter and FX

Just got one of these recently, it sounds awesome, would recommend to anyone, the sounds are ear candy. Totally fun and superb for soundtracks and New Age if anyone does New Age anymore, or Techno, or for experimental music - anything electronica.

Well - I have one and I most likely will never part with it - for a couple of reasons - The first is simple, it has all the wavestation sounds - Second, is that it pretty much has alot of the classy Korg M1/01 sounds too - so you pretty much get alot out of this little module - and you can program it too... It sounds great compared to some of my newer stuff - If you find one buy it - Ebay sells them from time to time - great little unit for what you get - that's why I have kept mine for so long -
